The short tale about ASAT anti-satellite weapons.


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The developing ASAT-weapons is a little-known thing in space programs. The newest technology is actually developed for microwave bombs, which would destroy the targets very sharply. The systems are acting different ways but the main idea is to terminate the satellite by using the method, which keeps its core in one piece. That eliminates the debris from that trajectory, and it would save the own satellites from the damages. In the 1960s there were testing the nuclear weapons, which will make all satellites, what is at the orbiting trajectory unable to operate, but the problems of the plasma caused that this kind of weapons was not created, because they would destroy both side satellites, and that would mean end of the GPS systems and other things.

The developing the anti-satellite weapons have been beginning from the cold-war era. During that time there were made ASAT test by the Soviet Union and the USA by using kinetic energy weapons, what based satellites, that were collated with together. And some experiments were made by using machine guns and that kind of things. The recoilless weapons like bazookas and other kinds of things are also tested because the recoil of the machine guns are causing that the trajectory of the satellite would be disturbed.

And that's is a very problematic thing in ASAT missions. One of the most interesting things about the weapons that are developed for the killer satellites is a so-called centrifuge gun, what will be the rotating layer, where is dropped the metal balls. The layer would throw the metal ball with speed, which is the same as the layer will rotate. This kind of weapons is very interesting because they would be installed in the other satellites and use for the self-defense systems. Another very interesting solution would be the "Trophy" system, what is installed in the tanks, and this system can be used in the satellites as the rotating gun turret, what will destroy incoming objects and also it can be used in the offensive purposes.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
